Someone waved at you in Frankfurt am Main? Get in touch
A wave on the platform, from the tram, across the square: in Frankfurt am Main it means "look me up on wavesign.me". Whoever waved leaves a WaveSign here with place, time and a short description, and the other person finds it on the map and writes back. Free, without an account.
Someone waved at you
- Open the map of Frankfurt am Main and go to the place where it happened; the search takes a street, a station or a tram line.
- Set the day and the time. A WaveSign is visible for 30 days from the moment it describes, so look again a day or two later: the other person may need a while to get to a keyboard.
- Found the entry? Write from the card. Your e-mail address stays hidden until you decide to answer.
You waved at someone
- Leave a WaveSign with the place, the time and a short description of the other person, and one of yourself, so they recognise the entry.
- Confirm your e-mail address with the link we send you. Only then does the entry go on the map.
- Keep one detail to yourself. Whoever names it in their reply is the right person.
